Fall is coming

With September just around the corner and temperatures starting to dip, how do you transition your wardrobe into fall? The mornings and evenings are cooler but the days are still warm and sunny. It’s that in-between phase. You still want to wear your summer dresses, but at the same time, you’re tempted to pull out your sweaters.

Summer or Fall?

So, are you that person in denial, holding onto every last ray of sunshine? Are you going kicking and screaming into autumn, determined to keep wearing your sundresses and tank tops? Or, are you the type who can’t wait to pull out the sweaters and leggings and get all cozy?

How about both?

Well, I’m here to tell you, you can do both. You can mix and match your sundresses and tanks with jean jackets, sweaters, scarfs, and leggings. Have some fun. Blend different colours, textures, and patterns together. We’re in transition not only in terms of season but returning to school in a pandemic world. So, everything goes when it comes to dressing into fall. Have a look!

When the temperature drops, it’s time for tights & boots on the bottom, and a jacket & scarf on top

As you can see, a few good quality classic pieces like the Carolyn reversible dress, the Maxine reversible tank, and the Lynne pant can easily transition you from season to season. Bamboo is a great all-season choice because it’s breathable and thermal regulating which means it will keep you cool in the warm weather, and when the temperature dips, it will keep you warm in the cool weather. Then, add in the right accessories and you’re all set for fall.
